Sure wish I hadn't missed the sale. 1915 I do have a 1 cyl Westman, a 3 cyl Campbell, and a few 1 cyl 4 HP Red Wings, but somehow I am missing all three of those. |

Sure, I have owned this engine along time. It was installed in a ferry at Bayfield in the Apostle Islands of Lake Superior. It got shoved in the back of my shed, and I haven't taken any newer pictures.

I also have a 1 cyl. This one came from way up North near the North Dakota border.

Thanks for sharing Bill. Love the combo camshaft/timer drive scheme. I saw a 4 cyl Campbell engine in a boat at the Canadian Muskoka Lakes antique boat show years back. The owner had had a nice period boat built for it. Miro Forrest on here may know more about the boat and engine. |

The 3 cylinder is made so it can run 1, 2 or all 3 cylinders at any given time. In one of the Weston Farmer books, he talks about cutting across the Campbell Motor factory, and there were old wore out engines laying about rusting away. It was in 1918, so they must have been some really neat stuff. They also made an outboard.
